Our Mission

Our mission is to educate students by providing dynamic learning experiences in which children actively participate to become lifelong learners.

We foster a caring and supportive atmosphere and guide our students down a life path of academic, social and emotional confidence, independence and success. We promote partnerships between our school, students, families and community to emphasize the multi-dimensional approach of our school and create a sense of community and belonging.

Studies have shown that parents of children with ASD notice a developmental problem before their child's first birthday. Concerns about vision and hearing were more often reported in the first year, and differences in social, communication, and fine motor skills were evident from 6 months of age.
